Her first caller, Bill, shares that the transition back to the office has him worn down with meeting overload and 12-hour days; he asks how to raise this and create a sustainable work program?! Then Mari, a 3rd generation Japanese-American, is keen for ways to positively and productively talk about anti-Asian sentiments and activity; how can Asians respond and leaders in bigger organizations be more a part of the solution? She shares learning of her own parents being sent to the Japanese internment camps in the US and the lasting impact that had (14:30). Next, Sara presents a challenge of bringing marketing support in-house from a 3rd party firm and how to manage the transition with the key contact whose skills aren’t a fit long term (35:00). Finally, Molly shares two tips: how to use positive intention so that the other person receives you well, and when the topic is especially heated, how to lean into connection and trust before trying to solve (46:30). Molly’s thought for the week: “When you focus on the past, that’s your ego. ... When I focus on the future, that's my pride. I try to focus on the present. That's humility.” — Giannis Antetokounmpo, 2021 NBA Finals MVP, scoring 50 points in a series-clinching 105-98 Game 6 victory that ended the Milwaukee Bucks’ 50-year title drought. Tune in to the show for her conversations as you learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
